United will also hold an open training session ahead of the game, which presents an opportunity to exploit an injury-hit PSG side who are expected to be without Edinson Cavani, Thomas Meunier and Marco Verratti, according to reports. Neymar is already confirmed to be absent with injury.

Solskjaer rested key players like Marcus Rashford, Victor Lindelof and Jesse Lingard for the win at Fulham on Saturday, and could give an indication over who will feature tomorrow in his press conference.

He could also be asked about Chelsea's 6-0 defeat to Man City yesterday, which Solskjaer watched at the Etihad. The result kept United in fourth, a point above Arsenal and Chelsea with superior goal difference.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be named permanent boss

The Manchester United board have made their mind up on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as they have decided he will be named permanent manager of the club, according to a report in The Sun.

The Norwegian was originally given the job on a temporary basis until the end of the season after the sacking of Jose Mourinho but has impressed having changed the mood in the dressing room and going on an 11 game unbeaten run.

The decision has been made at board level, the report claims., although the club may not announce it until the end of the season.

Avram Glazer was at United’s game on Saturday and it is claimed that while the club will publicly state the search is still ongoing for Mourinho’s successor, they’ve decided the search is over.

Tuchel's mindset

It was interesting to hear Thomas Tuchel admit that United go into tomorrow night’s game as the favourites. Perhaps it’s a way of taking the pressure off his players but a club with Paris Saint-Germain’s ambitions should surely see United as a beatable side, even in their current guise. PSG are still to make a tangible dent on the Champions League and you wonder how long it will take for them to do so.

“Our aim tomorrow? I’m not thinking about the result, I cannot control that but what I can manage is our performance, I want us to play with courage, play as a team, together tight knit, fight, ready to suffer. And I think I don’t really want to talk about the result but we want to score perhaps more than one.”

“I said let’s talk about it in February and it’s going to be a tough challenge because the squad is full of energy and it will be a tough challenge tomorrow.

“Over 180 minutes it’s a 50-50 game, if it’s tomorrow, the home side I’m not sure but to compare with 180 mins and the second leg in Paris, we are very strong at the Parc des Princes but it’s a 50 50 game.

“It’s one of the details, you get a yellow or red anything can make the difference. It’s a close game.”

What Man Utd learned about PSG from open training ahead of Champions League tie

Mbappé relishing the big stage

Paris Saint-Germain manager Thomas Tuchel was asked about the pressure on Kylian Mbappé’s shoulders to step up and perform in the absence of Neymar and Edinson Cavani at Old Trafford on Tuesday night yet that line of questioning served to undervalue the 20-year-old’s status at the Ligue 1 leaders.

No player has scored more goals or provided more assists than the France international for PSG this season and the more pressing issue for Tuchel is the extent to which the world’s most expensive teenager can showcase his talent on the biggest stage without Neymar’s opulence impairing his acclaim.

Mbappé had a menacing look in his eye during PSG’s open training session and it would be far from surprising to see his ferocious pace cause Manchester United’s questionable backline untold difficulty, particulalry with his remarkable knack for taking the biggest of occasions in his stride.

Manchester City were made aware of that ability in 2016, with Mbappé belying his tender age with a goal in Monaco’s 5-3 victory at the Etihad. If United are to take a positive result into the second leg, finding a way to limit the World Cup winner will be vital.

United 'join race to sign former Liverpool star Luis Suarez'

Manchester United face competition from China to prise Luis Suarez from Barcelona, according to reports in Spain.

The 32-year-old, who took the Premier League by storm during his three-and-a-half seasons at Liverpool, has scored 15 La Liga goals in 22 games this season.

Barcelona sit six points clear of Real Madrid at the top of the Spanish first division, with Suarez the league’s second-highest scorer behind Lionel Messi.

GOLdigital claim that United are monitoring the Uruguay international’s situation at the Camp Nou, with Chinese clubs also reported to be circling.

It is, of course, highly unlikely to see Liverpool’s former no.7 turn out at Old Trafford any time soon. United’s transfer policy under executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward has seen the club target players below the age of 27 - with the exception of Zlatan Ibrahimovic - to ensure prolonged value for any financial outlay and there is nothing to suggest United will make a move.Manchester United face competition from China to prise Luis Suarez from Barcelona, according to reports in Spain.

Thomas Tuchel has highlighted the ‘dangerous’ Manchester United pairing of Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial as a major threat to his side’s hopes of getting a result at Old Trafford.

Patrice Evra has sent an impassioned message to players and supporters ahead of tomorrow.

“PSG tomorrow, big game. We have got a lot of respect for PSG, a lot of friends too. But, we are Manchester United!

“So please guys make sure tomorrow we are proud of you guys, by running everywhere and give everything you have got. I want people to eat the grass tomorrow.

“And the fans, you have a big part to play. I always say it is the Theatre of Dreams for us, and it has to be Theatre of the Nightmare for the opponent.

“So guys, I am counting on you, I want the players when they come onto the pitch to see the big writing ‘believe’.

“Paul, who is going to stop you when you make your box-to-box? David de Gea, tomorrow the shop is closed, shut the door. Anthony, I don’t care if you don’t smile, I want you to destroy people. Rashford show me you are a real Mancunian. Ole, thank you very much, Mick Phelan too.

“Forevra Red, this is a note from your favourite left-back. I love this game!”

United 'enter' the race to sign Adrien Rabiot this summer

It is no surprise to see this story emerge the night before a massive match against the French champions.

United have reportedly entered the race to sign Paris Saint-Germain’s midfielder Adrien Rabiot this summer.

The Frenchman is out of contract at the end of the season and according to Spanish outlet AS, United have now emerged as the latest Premier League team to show an interest in the 23-year-old.

This tweet sums up the incredible impact Paul Scholes will have on lower league football.

Saha identifies key man in PSG fixture

“Paris Saint-Germain are slightly ahead because they kept progressing,” he told Omnisport when asked to compare the teams. “They have a player like Mbappe who cannot be stopped.”

“Man United are a great club with quality players. Paris Saint-Germain are solid because the head coach brought more stability between defence and attack. The coach can easily switch his system, he’s very clever and has great communication. He has great coaching staff able to identify the opponent’s philosophy. We saw him changing his system several times during a game.

“The team has evolved a lot. They haven’t taken it to the next level in the Champions League, those few steps left to reach the final. They lacked those elements: the right information, atmosphere, balance, reaction to what cannot be predicted. The coach needs to deal with it, giving the right space and confidence to the players while keeping his defence ready. It’s a balance to reach that is different in Champions League to the league.”

Anthony Martial aims dig at Jose Mourinho over Solskjaer instructions

Martial embarked on a run of six Premier League goals in five games under Mourinho in October and November but his future at United was uncertain after he wanted to leave the club in the summer.

The 23-year-old signed a five-year contract last month and drew comparisons with Cristiano Ronaldo by scoring a virtuoso solo goal in the weekend win at Fulham in the Premier League. That goal all but confirmed a starting role for Martial in the round-of-16 Champions League first leg with Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night.

Solskjaer has enhanced the majority of United players since he was appointed caretaker coach on December 19 and Martial has scored three times in the Norwegian’s 11 games. Martial revealed he has more of an attacking license under the current United manager.

Solskjaer in good company

Among the 16 managers left in this season’s Champions League, Ole Gunnar Solskjær is one of three to have won it as a player (with Man Utd in 1999), alongside Pep Guardiola (with Barcelona in 1992) and Santi Solari (with Real Madrid in 2002).

Martial appeared to aim dig at Mourinho
